A few words for our legislators

May 31, 2011

Cowardly, irresponsible, inept, deceptive, bumbling, self-serving -- six words to describe the Illinois legislators who passed on vital pension reform, who watered down meaningful workers compensation proposals, who think that the virtually bankrupt state can borrow an additional $2.5 billion to fill its budget shortfall, who dramatically expanded gambling which will suck money out of local economies, who just squandered the largest income tax increase in state history, but who have schemed to retain their seats by gerrymandering their districts.

Stupid -- the one word to describe the electorate that continues to send these charlatans back to Springfield.
